Bodily, Vahl W.          
Vahl W Bodily Beloved Father and Grandfather Vahl W Bodily, age 79, passed
away November 4, 2005 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born August 15, 1926 in
Gusher, Utah to Christopher William and Dorthea Bodily. He graduated from
Alterra High School in 1944. As a young man Vahl served as a missionary for
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Texas Louisiana
Mission. It was there where Vahl met his bride to be, Mary Jackson who was
also serving in the mission. Vahl and Mary were married on February 7, 1949 in
the Salt Lake Temple. Throughout his working years Vahl owned his own
industrial painting contracting company. As the business grew, he decided to
relocate to Manhattan, Kansas to be closer to a major military contract. This
proved to be a wonderful experience for the family. It was during his time in
Kansas that he served as a bishop and stake president and was beloved by many.
In their later years together, Mary and Vahl served as missionaries in the
Singapore Mission serving in Indonesia and India, and as temple workers. Later
in life he loved to hike the hills and mountains around St. George, Utah. When
Vahl was asked about his greatest service he would quickly say he found his
greatest joy in being the primary care provider for Mary during the last few
years of her life. Prior to his death Vahl remained an avid hiker, temple
worker, and name extractor for temple work. Vahl leaves a legacy of service to
mankind and love of family. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by son,
Kim (Kathy) Bodily of Salt Lake City; daughters, Lynne (Dale) Dewey of Eagle,
Idaho; and Jeanne (Alan) Skidmore of Houston, Texas; sisters, Sylva Godwin and
Ann Robinson; brother, Brett (Sarah) Bodily; 16 grandchildren and four
